The Amesbury Police Department, Amesbury Police Officers’ Association, Super Stop & Shop and the businesses of Carriagetown Plaza will be holding the 7th Annual Fill a Cruiser with Food event. The food drive will be held Saturday, Nov. 19 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at the Super Stop & Shop at 100 Macy St. (Rte. 110). Donations are also accepted in advance of the event at the Amesbury Police Station at 19 School St. in Amesbury.

Donations of packaged food will be used to stock the shelves of the Our Neighbor’s Table Food Pantry. The Pantry is in need of supplies as the Holiday Season and winter approach. This year, the need once again is especially high. Our Neighbor’s Table was founded in 1991 and serves a free weekly meal to those in need each Wednesday night, provides a food pantry and many other services to the needy in our community.

Our Neighbor’s Table is in need of the following items (please choose foods that are not packaged in glass): Cereal; pasta; canned or boxed fruit juice; baby food; canned soups, beans, stews, vegetables and fruits; granola bars; fruit roll-ups; canned ravioli and Shaghetti Os. Cash donations are also used to help the Food Pantry purchase other foods each week, such as eggs, bread and milk.

Helping out at the event again this year will be WNBP 1450 AM Newburyport! On the air since 1957, WNBP is truly one of the greatest community radio stations in the nation. Station owners Pete Falconi & Carl Strube will be on hand for a couple hours with great entertainment from the legends of music.
